Lyrics for 900 Miles - Take 1
I'm just walkin' down that track I've got tears in my eyes Tryin' to read this letter from my home Now if this train run me right I'll be home tomorrow night 'Cause I'm nine hundred miles from my home And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow Now this here train that I'm on Nine coaches long Hear that whistle blowin' many a mile Yeah, and if'n this train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night I'm nine hundred miles from my home Hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow Now, I'll pawn you my watch I'll pawn you my chain Pawn you my diamond golden ring Yeah, and if this train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night I'm nine hundred miles from my home Hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow Now if my woman tells me so Hell I can't railroad no more I'll sidetrack my engine, and go home Yeah, and if this train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night I'm nine hundred miles from my home Hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow Now I'm just walkin' down that track I got tears in my eyes Tryin' to read this letter from my home Yeah and if this train runs me right I'll be home tomorrow night I'm nine hundred miles from my home Hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow
